There is no replicating the feeling of being a kid in 1999 and recapturing that feeling as an adult. Once the generation that grew up then is past their grandpa years, Pokémon is probably over.
I see it now with older baseball cards. The main collectors of 50s and 60s era cards are aging quickly. Younger guys aren’t as interested in the vintage cards
Do this with a Base Set Zard. 
Kids today don’t care about sport cards, but kids today care for Pokémon cards
If Pokemon is alive 1000 years from now, TPCi must own entire countries by that point

True. But I am thinking the kids won’t stick with it or come back to it like we did. Once they start noticing girls, they move on

Humans will probably be extinct in 1000 years 
The cultural and technological advances of the human race is hard to comprehend outside of a what’s current in our eyes. Could anyone fathom the idea of a cell phone 200 years ago? Planes that soar in the sky? These are normal things in our life that were alien to the majority of human history. What did someone 400 years ago collect? marbles? axes? money? It’s interesting to imagine. Some of the largest companies, that seemed likely to never fail, eventually went bankrupt. Historically speaking, all “businesses” do. Sadly, if history is anything what the future has in store, it will likely be forgotten about. New things that we cannot even imagine will slide pokemon to the side. Likely not in our lifetime but eventually, everything loses its luster.
But until then, lets enjoy the ride.

This is real funny!!! 
LOL
god…i can imagine is open mouth thumbnail already
Probably not forgotten, but very very niche. Generations after generations, the nostalgic feeling and the original signal would be dispelled.
Like, I can imagine some expert of 21th century history writing papers on weird colorful creatures named Pokemons, trying to understand why people was spending thousands for a plastic case lol.
Maybe a couple of illustrators and Charizard will end in some low tier museum, with a weird mix of games, tv characters, films, tech.
For the other cards: probably you could still buy a lot of them for cheap, like you can buy old Roman Empire coins today or 800’ stamps.
we will shape entire planets after pokemon, we genetically modified living structures to evolve into real life pokemon, the first galaxy we conquer will be named after arceus

With grading and documentation of card releases, there is a better chance someone 100 years from now will be able to pick up a Pokémon card and learn about it pretty quickly. That may intrigue someone who never had any experience with Pokémon otherwise to dig further into the cards.

I’d like to imagine Pokemon will still be very relevant 100 years from now

The true irony will be that the only existing evidence of Pokémon at the archaeological dig site will be a fake metal card labeled “ display only”.
Modern society is unsustainable, so there will come a time when most brands are defunct.
Pokemon chief just announced, Pokemon will be around FOREVER!
We may even find similar sign at every shop and restaurant in the near future:
We could even pay full down-payment of a house with a PSA 10 or handover a PSA 10 to a bank as collateral for a loan.
Banks then would prefer slabbed rare Pokemon cards over car/house as collaterals due to cars and houses depreciating too fast.
Fantastic speculations but could be possible as no one can truly predict what happens 1,000 years later…
